Toupix

photodemo.jpg Toupix - a project by Chris Blunt, a final stage student of the BSc (Hons) MediaLab Arts course at the University of Plymouth, UK - is a photography application that runs on your mobile phone. When you take a photo with Toupix, it looks for other users nearby, and tags that photograph with their details.

The photos can then be browsed through the Toupix website, where they are grouped by who was nearby at the time.

If someone takes a photo near you with Toupix, that photo will be tagged with your presence - even when you don't take any photos of your own! When you login to Toupix, you'll see those photos in your account because you were there.
